keepers are these.

01. The Angel and the One
02. California Kids
06. Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori - this was on Brad's 2016 comp and it is quite a good song.

these 2 might get another listen
08. Hang On
09. Foolish Father - like the verses, hate the chorus.

It doesn't really "sound just like the original"... are you guys insane?

It sounds like Weezer playing "Africa". Apparently it was born out of a Twitter joke

I mean, it sounds like someone trying to sound like the original. Of course it isn't exactly the same

One can agree that it's dumb and that it also doesn't "sound just like the original"

it obviously doesn't sound just like the original, but it doesn't steer off path at all. the original is so much better.
